It's looking likely that when we play Scunny away in January, it could well be at the Northolme (if anywhere at all)

If either one of us progresses the game's off

Scunny are already out, so it's on us.

This is only the start of the U23s. Going forwward they'll be incorporating more of the U19s at the end of each season, when the players are too old for the youth competitions - whereas before they would need to either be fully signed up or released.

I imagine eventually we'll partner up with local step 5 sides to allow dual-registration and give them competitive games - but they'll still train with the first team. Jake Lovelace, the keeper, already plays on most Saturdays for Skegness Town (as he did last season too).

A legitimate goal chalked off, robbed of the 3 points

It's been said many times already this season, we need a out-and-out striker in the mould of Danny Elliott or Billy Chadwick.

Billy Chadwick is not an out-and-out striker.

Part of me wonders if being "hybrid" rather then properly full time is actually detrimental to match fitness? Tamworth were easily our equals in terms of fitness towards the end of that defeat, and Stortford finished stronger yesterday too.

I think the extra training session that we get should be aiding recovery methods after a weekend match (I would think recovery, coaching and "match planning" could be the 3-day training plan?). Maybe a midweek game came too soon, and we hadn't adapted to the turnaround. The same with yesterday... something we'll need to learn quick.

Four million, a lot of money! Two million which was originally mentioned a couple of years ago seemed a lot, crazy how some construction costs have increased.

The design has changed since we moved in - now plans for a 2nd supporters' bar plus some of the terrace has now been changed to 100 seats for away fans. Wouldn't cater for the extra £2m, but would be some of it.

It says some games not available due to geographical reasons.
In other words they can't be arsed to travel into the wilderness of Lincolnshire.

Think it's more that all games are available to overseas viewers, but only non-Saturday 3pm ones available in the UK

You know more about this sort of stuff than me Scotty but I would imagine it's nothing a VPN couldn't get round so if for example someone wants to watch this afternoon they should be able to with a minimal bit of tech knowhow.

Oh of course! Plenty of EFL supporters manage to watch their IFollow streams from the UK, via a VPN pretending they are in France.

10% possession? Eeeesh! I do wonder about the value of some of these home friendlies...

It was an exercise in determination, organisation and defending our box. We did pretty well. Bostwick seemed to love it.

He was only on loan there, in 2 separate spells. Was better in the first loan than the second

One of his goals last season...
